What type of opening is in the lid? I want to avoid the "Starbucks" type that flips open but leaves a wet mark on your nose when you drink.

It doesn't flip open but slides open. Works pretty good. You do need to make sure you thread the cap good so it doesn't leak when you drink.

it has a slide type opening & closing mechanism; really the only thing I did not like about it is the height of the cup it is a little off balance when full, top heavy is the correct term I believe. I know that wasn't your question but I just wanted to give you that information before you purchase the item. otherwise the cup is perfect.

This was a Christmas gift for my son, a year ago this past Christmas. He said that the lid is the screw-on type; the sipping opening slides (doesn't flip), and that when the top of the mug is closed, you can drop the mug and it doesn't spill. My son, who is in construction, can be very hard on his tools and other possessions, so I think this is an excellent testimony to the quality of this product. Hope this info will help!

If you want a flip top type mug where you don't have to unscrew, order this one: Zojirushi SM-KA36BA 12-Ounce/0.36-Liter Stainless Mug, Black

I agree with J. Bauer comment! If your nose touches the hole it will stop the flow of whatever you're drinking. Maybe just check the hole as well make sure it is not partially clogged with something.

The lid screws in and there is a flip top tap that covers the drinking hole. It will leak through that hole if you turn it over. Nevertheless, this mug is as good as it gets. You'll be a fan, I promise. I use the brown one for my coffee and a silver one for water, which, with ice, will keep cold all day long.

The sipping lid has air flow and drink holes. There is a separate lid that screws on to close the mug.

Serious problem few aware of,Just received email from Bonavita. I am correct. They know this is a BIG problem. New design will have opening lid. Personally I think this has been a serious health hazard. Folks we all need to complain. If you test you will be digusted how crappy it is inside that lid! We paid $150 for a dangerous, unhealthy coffee maker. If you think I am exaggerating I wish you well and happy trails. A law suit against Bonavita would not surprise me. The problem is pretty obvious. The fact you can't see it makes even more serious.

I've gotten used to opening/closing. There are little marks to guide you, but I don't know why they had to make it so difficult :). I like this for my morning coffee (I take it too Starbucks and they warm and fill it) but it did take a little getting used to.

I don't know about the other models but this cup has a latch that can open to clean the inside of the cap, there is also a button to press to lock the spout, the button prevents the spout from opening if you try to press the open button, which I believe is found on all of these types of thermoses.

As far as I can figure out, the whole top flips up on the first product and the beverage pours out of a larger opening, while with the flip spout only a small opening appears. There are advantages to both but I prefer the larger opening, especially for thicker items like soup. You can also see better what's coming out: for example, if the hot chocolate looks thin, you can close the lid, shake it well and then pour a well-mixed drink.

The threads dont' leak. When the lid is closed, it is fairly secure. HOWEVER - when you take a drink of coffee from the lid, the coffee doesn't flow back into the bottle, it collects around the flip part and gets forced out when you close the flip. Then it ends up all over the bottle and your hands. I hate it.

I never sip from it. I find that often the tea or coffee stays very hot, and I prefer to pour it in a cup and let it cool a little. Also, I don't put milk or sugar in the thermos (easier to clean, just works better for me), so I like to doctor my drink in a cup. The little lid cup works great, as does any regular mug. I think this is just a preference thing. If you were going to drink straight from it, you would probably want to remove the vacuum seal thing first. That piece might be in the way. And by that point it would be quicker to pour a little into the lid/cup and drink it down.

You push a button on the side of the top section and the lid pops up. You then drink from a hole at the top of the bottle. It is simple to open with one hand, easy to drink from and it doesn't leak. I love mine.

It pretty much acts like a travel mug. The lid screws on and you can cap the hole you drink thru/put straw in. If that is open, then yes, some of the liquid will get out if spilled. Overall, I have been very happy with this item.

The lid has a raised thin lip in one area with a cut out hole even with the rest of the lid. When the lid is on, one simply holds the mugto the mouth and tilts. It's more comfortable to drink with the lid on this mug than without as the walls of the mug without the lid are fairly thick. These are wonderful containers!

I can speak to what is being sold now, but when I purchased this mug from this vendor it did not have the new easy clean lid, I'm not even sure that flip out lid had even come out yet. I just googled what the easy clean lid is because I wasn't even sure, and that's definitely not the lid I have. You may want to directly contact Amazon or this vendor (if they are different) and specifically ask that question as to whether they are now selling the new model lid.

I use it driving all the time but it doesn't have any mechanism for opening, it's a screw on top. So you have to remove the top to drink, but because it's a tall slim mug, the opening isn't so big that it spills easily. Hope that helps

The lid one the mug I purchased has a hinged flip cap to open or seal the lid. The entire lid has a rubber ring around the llid to seal it. There is not a push button to open the lid, it is a "push on and pull off" type lid. It isn't difficult to put on and off. There is a tab on the outside edge to assist in removing the lid. Note: There are some mugs which have a twist on/off lid as well. They are the older version. Both work well, but I like the newer type.
